Name me another author like Stieg Larsson?

I get bored very quickly and find there are a lot of books I just can't get into.





I've just read the 2nd book in the Milennium trilogy 'The girl who played with fire' 600 pages that I just could not put down. Its more than just a crime thriller as there are a lot of social undertones - and a certain amount of sex; The first book, The girl with the Dragon Tattoo was just as good.





I just love the level of detail and the complex plot but it has to be written in a way that gets my juices going. Unfortunately Stieg dies after the 3rd book (not yet translated) so I need more authors of a similar type.





I tend to like books where the hero is a very smart/ logical thinker and you hear him thinking out loud. My favourite authors are Dick Francis (crime thrillers), James Clavell (shogun, king rat etc), Frank Herbert (dune trilogy etc).....
